Just think how that affects the pre-owned / antiques market when people get used to paying less for new. Back in the day people (apart from the richest) didn&#039;t buy new home decor all the time, nowadays it&#039;s mandatory due to nothing lasting long enough to become vintage.</p><p><br /></p><p>In recent years there has been some small-scale appreciation for unique handmade organic objects, but I think that&#039;s another mere aesthetic. 95% of those buyers couldn&#039;t probably even tell what makes the item they bought well-made.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
